Knowing how to forage safely, with correct identification and proper harvesting techniques, is only half of the journey. The real joy of foraging begins when we enter the kitchen and create delicious meals, snacks, and drinks with the bounty of the wild.

This class will be a hands-on experience allowing folks to roll up their sleeves, and do some harvesting of specific spring plants we’ve discussed - putting into practice observation and identification, harvesting, and cleaning.

After a general plant walk on the property, we’ll spend the second half of the class in the summer kitchen where we’ll prep our bounty into various dishes that we’ll make from start to finish followed, of course, by tasting the results.

Participants will leave with some foraged greens to use at home, recipes/instructions on what was made in class, and a newfound sense of empowerment when spending time in the wild.

There will be a short break in the middle of the class - brink snacks or drinks to tide you over until our tasting if needed. This class will be held in the field, rain or shine - dress for the weather.
